IMPROVEMENT IN COATS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 214,113] (lated April 15, 1879; application filed September 21, 1878. i

To all whom lit may concer/n:

Beit known that I, NILs MALMAR, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Overcoats, of which the following is a specification.

The figure represents an overcoat to which my improvement has been applied.

The object of this invention is to furnish coats, and especially overcoats, which shall be supplied with an extra lining so constructed that it may be readily detached and laid aside, or replaced by a lighter or a heavier one, as may be required, so that the same coat may be Worn in the spring and fall and in the winter, render-in git unnecessary to have diierent coats for different seasons.

The invention will rst be described in connection with the drawing, and then pointed out inthe claim.

A represents a coat provided with an ordinary lining, C, and which is made in the usual Way, except that a strip, D, of linen or other suitable material, is applied or stitched to it all around the edges of the said ordinary lining C, to support the fastenings by which the extra or supplementarylining B is secured in place.

The lining B is so formed as to iit neatly upon the ordinary lining O, with its edges corresponding With the edges of the said lining C. The edges of the extra lining B are secured. detachably, to the lining C by buttons b' and button-holes c', or by hooks and eyes, pins, or any other suitable means.

When buttons and button-holes are used, I prefer to attach the buttons to the extra lining B, and form the button-holes in the ordinary lining O and the strips D, as shown in the drawing.

With this construction the coat can be Worn Without the extra lining B, and linings B of different thicknesses and warmth can be used, as the intensity of the cold may require.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A coat provided with a strip, D, stitched around the edges of the ordinary lining C, button-holes being formed through saidparts C D, in combination with a supplementary inner lining, B, as shown and described.

NILS MALMAR.
